Our company’s catalytic reforming unit uses UOP technology; what is an appropriate temperature for controlling the hydrogen used in the replacement of the raw catalyst? What is the maximum temperature of the raw material lift pipe?

DUR O LOK® is the ideal choice for lightweight, threadless, boltless pipe joining. It is a compact connector suitable for various applications, designed to replace ANSI series 150–2500 flanges. The unique design of the DUR O LOK® connector ensures its proper operation even in situations with large temperature differences. The DUR O LOK® connectors have been widely used in the oil refining industry for many years with a proven track record of success; together with the OptimixTM FCC feed nozzles, they have been designated by the American company UOP for use in production units utilizing the CCRTM PlatforningTM, OlefexTM, and SorbexTM technologies. DUR O LOK® pipe connectors are easy to maintain, save material, and save installation space. With its excellent performance, as well as the space and weight savings it offers, the DUR O LOK® connector is bound to be the best choice for various pipe connection applications! Features: · Compact size—compared to flanges, both the length and outer diameter are reduced by 30%–50%. In the same space, flanges can only be used to connect one pipe, whereas DUR O LOK® allows for the installation of two pipes ; The use of DUR O LOK® connectors in reactors can effectively improve the flow distribution within them, while reducing the space occupied by these connectors in the reactor. ·Light weight—compared to flanges, the weight is reduced by 60%–90%. ·Simple—compared to flanges, the number of connector components is reduced by 55%–75%. ·Fast — at least 10–15 minutes can be saved for each connection assembled or disassembled. ·Unlimited — the inner diameters of the connection ports are identical, reducing pressure drop. ·The inner wall is smooth—this minimizes interference with the flow of liquid, reducing friction during the transport of catalysts and other solids. ·No threads, no screws—no need for a wrench, no need to measure torque, no need to align bolt holes, and no need to adjust the connector after sudden changes in temperature. ·Self-reinforcing sealing – the sealing performance improves as pressure increases. Almost no leakage occurs. ·Good thermal stability — an excellent design minimizes the impact of thermal expansion on sealing performance, allowing it to withstand sudden changes in temperature inside or outside the pipeline. ·There are no mating obstacles or inter-metal sealing issues—high reliability with very few failures. The CCRTM Platform® process is a method for producing high-octane gasoline or primary particles for petrochemical use. The C3 Olefex® process is a method for producing polymeric-grade propylene from propane as a raw material. The C4 Olefex® process is a process for separating and converting C4 olefin gases to obtain MTBE, acetylene gas, crude butadiene, 1-butene, isobutylene, and fully saturated liquefied petroleum gas. The Sorbex® process separates part of the mixture during the adsorption liquid stage. The Parex® process is a method for recovering high-purity p-xylene from isomers containing mixed xylene gases, other aromatic and non-aromatic impurities. The Molex® process is a method for separating alkanes from branched chains and cycloalkanes. The MX-Sorbex® process is a method for recovering secondary xylene from steam containing a mixture of A8 isomers. The OptimixTM FCC nozzle is a nozzle for crude oil catalytic cracking units, designed by BETE specifically for UOP. High-strength pipe butt joints do not require heavy components. Comparison of DUR O LOK® and flanges in terms of weight and size: DUR O LOK® welded short pipe flanges – Pipe diameter, Pipe length, Overall diameter (inches), Total length (inches), Approximate weight (pounds). Flange category, Flange overall diameter (inches), Length of flange components (inches), Weight of flange components (pounds): 1: 1.25, 80, 80; 2.5: 2.85; 3.5: 3.5, 2.23, 2.73. 2500: 600, 6.25, 5.25, 7.0, 5.2, 26.6, 13.1; 1.5, 2.

DUR O LOK® wedge system: The core design of DUR O LOK® involves two unique outer rings with hubs mounted on the same axis; two semi-circular inner rings with wedge-shaped grooves that match those of the hubs cover the outside of the hubs’ wedge-shaped grooves. This wedge-shaped groove not only clamps the hub in the transverse direction but also applies longitudinal pressure to ensure tight contact at the ends of the hub, while compressing the washer to guarantee reliable sealing. The outer rings of the two semi-circular gears are sloped. Inside the inner ring, a sloped ring is smoothly fitted around the outside of the meshing elements, forcing the two meshing elements to be in close contact. A groove is retained at the end of the beveled outer ring of the gear reducer; this design ensures that a single pin is sufficient to provide a secure and reliable connection. No wrench is required for the entire connection process, and it can be completed in less than a minute. Please note: DUR O LOK® is a patented product of BETE Company.

Here, the temperature of the gas used for displacement is 150 degrees. Hehe; the temperature in the riser where the raw material is lifted is at room temperature, with nitrogen being used to lift it. When it comes into contact with the catalyst in the riser, the temperature is around 70 degrees I guess

Our company’s catalytic reforming units utilize UOP technology; it is appropriate to control the temperature of hydrogen used for replacing the raw catalyst at 195 degrees, with a maximum of 200 degrees, otherwise the regeneration unit will enter interlock mode.

May I ask: Is the interlock set for the H2 temperature during regeneration replacement the cause of the thermal shutdown of the regeneration system?  Our company’s model does not have this interlock.
Reply #62011-06-26
We have interlocks for flow, but there are no interlocks for temperature
Reply #72011-06-26
I don’t understand what’s wrong with the person who said it’s more than 200 degrees
